Davvar Island Looking out over Campbeltown Loch you will find Davvar Island which can be accessed at low tide. Davvar has a number of sea caves, one of which has the famous crucifixion painting, painted in 1887 by Archibald MacKinnon.

Opened in August 2006 and stretching from Tarbert at the north end of the peninsula to Southend in the south, the way-marked Kintyre Way criss-crosses the peninsula, connecting communities and landscape, people and produce. 140km (87 miles) long in total and with 4 to 7 days worth of walking, there is serious hiking and gentle rambles, all of which bring home the beautiful reality that is Kintyre.

The MOK Run and MOK Bike events are now annual staples in the Mull of Kintyre calendar and very popular with both visitors and locals.
